Two nice transitional GMT MASTER: 16750 / 16760.
One being nicest than the other, but both having a lot of charm.

16760:
The 16760 has a superb dial, my strong favorite here, but this patined 16750 is very tempting, and if I harass the seller a bit, I can get it, I think.
I like its dial a lot, too.
Not sure about the insert, but not a big deal to find.
And I miss some of these more modern GMT in my collection!
Dilemmas... 
Best,
Nicolas

Now I know what you were talking about.....
The Fat lady is more uniform in the patina forming on the dial, the hands which match perfectly with the bezel. And I believe it is very rare to find it with such a dial. Great find!
The 16760 is an interesting reference

If you look at the 16750 on the right you will see that the text is only "Oyster Perpetual" this is the first version on the tritium with circles. This version is the first between the matt and the glossy with metal circles. The second version has the tex...
The fat lady has a lot of charm.
Hard to deny this tropical example. Bill Rolex 5513 meters first vs Rolex 16760 tropical (aka fat lady) ...
After reading Bill´s comments I feel you have no choice but...
... to take the plunge my friend! It´s incredible how these "modern" versions of the GMT (and Subs) get an awesome patina sometimes. I wish you´ll get it for your collection dear Nicolas! Un abrazo mi amigo! Abel.
The problem is that I already found it...
But its owner doesn't want to sell it! LOLOLOLOL. Nico ...
Hi Nic, there seems to be lots of "dust-like" patina or blemish (for lack of better word) on the dial.
Can be considered a star dust dial? Thanks SBK
Your Fatty's face is a killer!! Such sweet tropical effect.
Did you say it came with B&P the last time you posted it here? Lol SBK
